Default '04 Road King - bar swap without changing cables?

Greetings all,
I'm a newbie here. I have a small shop in Amherstburg Canada. I've got a customer with an '04 Road King - he's looking for handlebar with a little more pull-back and he does not want to switch the stock cables.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

HD Reduced Reach Bars or HD "Heritage Style" Road King Bars. No cable changes necessary with either. The reduced reach bars allow for the electrical wiring to be run internally.

You can use the '08 and up bars however the right side bar will be a little shorter to accommodate the TBW thingy or you can order the ones for that specific year.

P/N for reduced reach: 56152-04B
P/N for "heritage style" RK bars: 56569-86
